Gmail problems

When Gmail is down users tend to take to social media or forums to vent their anger, and this is why we “IS Down Right Now USA” are here. Main issues that occur with the email service is troubles with login access, sending or receiving emails and of course apps on mobile devices not working the way they should do.

Gmail is one of the most popular e-mail services supplied by Google, but like other major email services they have major problems. Google Mail over the last year has gone down a number of times where accessing the service was hard enough, resulting in different problems such as the 503 error, emails not listing the way they should and so forth.

Are you having Google Mail problems today with email services? Please do provide the “Is Down Right Now USA” community and us with you Gmail status report below.

Aubrey

My Gmail is still down on my mobile device, I can access emails via the web but not phone or tablet.

Terri

I am having issues getting my emails, I am in and my business partner sent me an email but it is not coming. I am on my Android device. I will try get to an internet cafe or something so i can see if it is web or apps that are the problem or both.

Candice

Everything seems to be running ok again, there was a problem with Gmail on phone but now all is working well again – sigh of relief as waiting for important emails.

Monique

Gmail is not loading up properly, no idea what is going on can anyone highlight this for me please.

Sonja

I am not able to send or receive emails. Is this happening to anyone else?

Simpson

Same for me today, no emails at all coming to me even though I have had phone calls to answer emails. Maybe I should design a better system that actually works.

Simon

Is anyone having any issues with imap.gmail.com in Apple Mail?

Charlene

I can open email on my android phone but not PC.

Assad

Gamil is up and running, but when I click on a folder its like in slow motion waiting for it to open. Super slow service at this given time.

Assad

Gmail, sorry oops.

Karnel

Emails are coming in dribs and drabs at the moment.

Douggie

Not able to send emails at the moment, which is a pain in the rear end considering they are important.

Jessica

Sending emails with attached files is ridiculous, it is like waiting for an eternity.

Not able to open any emails with Gmail, crazy service that needs amending with new updates.

Leanne

I have loads of emails sent to me with no subject or content. So far i have basically had 40 blank emails. What does this mean?

Jules

Again and again this is happening, seems to be a common occurrence nowadays. Gmail is not letting me send emails, seriously had enough of this now.

Justin

Not allowing me to send emails, and when i try to delete old mail it doesn’t let me, it just keeps saying loading.

Charlotte

Not letting me login, been down all day for me.

Jamie

Not able to send emails yet again, Google Mail is useless if you ask me.

Darcy

My gmail on my phone seems to be playing up, its fine on my laptop just not my iPhone. Recent emails are showing up as July 3, which is like 3 days ago and i know i should have had plenty more emails in. Can anyone help on this matter please?

Max

Gmail is just getting worse and worse, is there any other bad word I can use without offending other readers? Yes is the answer and boy have i got a few going around in my head now. Gmail is getting as primitive as Mad Max, never seems to work with me full of rage wanting to close down on the non-providers.

DE Williams

gmail down for me July 9, 2015

Lily

Down for me with no emails coming in for the last two days, nit even able to send.

Fenn

Cannot login to Gmail for like 3 hours now. Connectivity is a major issue, all the money Google earns and they cannot get a simple email service running smoothly.

CJ

No emails coming through on my Gmail yet again, what is the best option for me, do i stay or go somewhere else? If i go what other Gmail alternative is there?

Rosetta

I have not had any emails sent to me for like three days now and i always get mail on a daily basis.

My emails are not updating, which is strange. Never had this issue before, until now.

Bentley

Cannot access google docs, not getting any emails this morning and cannot send any either.

Dee

Gmail delay is huge, emails that are timestamped are like 3 hours late. Why is there a massive delay with emails?

Erica

Emails not being sent or received. This is not good at all when i have many clients on my list i send to on a daily basis, and if they do not get these emails things cannot be done. Conducting business though email is important.

Colin

Some of my emails in Gmail have vanished and i didn’t even delete them.

James

My emails are vanishing and i am not even deleting them. When has it becomes Google’s job to clear my emails for me without consent?

Elissa

Gmail on laptop is perfect, but via i Phone app is another question, keeps crashing all the time when i do try to open.

Babs

My Gmail is not opening on August 9th, had enough now of this.

Rosey

No point in Gmail, it is always being useless. Cannot believe a new Google product called Alphabet was announced yesterday. They need to sort out the rubbish they have first rather than starting something new.

Delster

Not able to drag emails out of another folder into my inbox folder. I could do this last week but this week cannot. Why is this happening to me now?

Jeanie

Not had any emails from Gmail for like two days now. I have restarted phone with hard reset as well as reinstalled the Gmail app and still useless. Desktop only it is then.

Jacky

It keeps saying verify username and password and i know they are correct, so what is this IMAP & SMTP – login failed business?

Patty

Google is a massive company whom supplies many services and what i have seen is the search engine giants releasing new products and services all of the time. But what they really need to do is simply make work what they have already and stop doing the rest. Gmail is bloody useless service.

Bobby

As usual inbox is messed again, i have loads of emails to read and it says i have 139, but yet when i open messages there is nothing in there.

Mulanda

Emails are not coming through, its been like this for like three days now. Not good when I cannot even send or receive emails.

Gwen

The ammount of spam i get in my nbox is silly now, is the a way not to get any spam mail?

Malcolm Harris

Emails sending through imap but not receiving, are there server issues? Please advise #google #gmail #googlemail

http://www.maryorfali.com Mary Orfali

Not getting emails in iPhone.

TrainerCary

I’m having a problem getting incoming emails to automatically sync (push). I have been manually checking for the past couple of days, the problem was consistent but is now intermittent. I’ve gone through all the trouble shooting steps and even reinstated Gmail one phone so I’m convinced it’s a server issue. I’ve got a new LG Leon LTE running Lollipop

Abdul

Gmail accounts are not playing ball at the moment. No incoming emails at all are coming through even after I refresh the page I am on.

Emma

I ham seeing a few of my emails gone from my inbox, i am not getting any new emails either.

Joyce

My gmail is down, this is just crazy. I need to open new emails from clients and i know i have new ones because they have chased me up via text messages.

I have contacted customer support a couple of times about the same issue. I can get into my email, but anything more than a month old takes a very long time to display (3 minutes easy), and then when it does display it take just as long to open and read the email.
All of my OutlookPC syncs have been broken and all the emails are either missing or folders have been deleted (as in, in outlookPC, the folders are all message up, duplicated and/or missing). This is on 3 different computers (was horrified when i found them all busted, which means i dont have an archive of all my mail offline).

I spent quite a while on phone support, and was then upgraded to the next Level support only to be told “There is no known problem, there is no setting i can change to make your email quicker” I kept trying to tell him “I understand there isn’t a speed setting, what i am asking is; are there issues at the moment with the transfer from the old Hotmail servers to the new 365 servers? and will this problem resolve itself” and he again said “There is no problem at the moment, and there is no setting i can change”

I think its a case of being put through to “Customer Support” and not “IT Technical support”. Customer support are only really for help on basics and wouldn’t have anything to do with the big problems.

This is now week 4.

Unlike POP3, IMAP4 allows you to store your messages by default on the server, instead of downloading them locally.

Use one of the following methods to configure Outlook as an IMAP4 client.
Method 1: Microsoft Office Outlook 2010

Start Outlook.
On the File menu, click Info and click Account Settings.
Select Account Settings from the list.
On the E-mail tab, click New and Select Email Account, and then click Next
Click to select the Manually configure server settings or additional server types check box, and then click Next.
Click Internet E-Mail, and then click Next.
In the Server Information section, select IMAP for Account Type.
In the Your Name box, enter your name exactly as you want it to appear to recipients.
In the E-mail Address box, type your e-mail address.
In the User Name box, type your account name.
In the Password box, type your password.
In the Incoming mail server box, type the name of your IMAP4 server.
Note IMAP4 is a retrieval protocol. You must have SMTP to send your messages.
Click Next after you have completed entering this configuration information, and then click Finish.

I seem to have outlook working on my phone (Android) okay (for now) and it shows all my emails and even all the folders I’ve created over the years. But as of 1/4/17, while I can log on to my email, I can’t seem to see ANY emails on my laptop. All the created folders are totally gone, are my contacts. When I look at my email inbox it shows it is 100% clear of emails when I know there are both read and unread emails in my account. Why do they have to keep messing things up that weren’t broke to begin with? In the last year they have been changing things that keep screwing things up and not make it better at all. How do I get to where I can access all my emails and folders on my laptop again? I use Windows 10 (which is also somewhat annoying to use — thanks, Microsoft! Not!).

Now I just checked and realized that some how, Outlook is showing my Yahoo email (when I know there are a ton of emails to that account) and isn’t showing any of my Hotmail or Outlook emails (of which I have three accounts. I have NEVER used or set up my Yahoo email to Outlook! I have no idea what the F*** is going on with this service — nor how to fix it!.

Google says it has identified the cause of the problem.

“Our team is continuing to investigate this issue,” the US firm posted online.

Problems logging into your Gmail account? You are not alone.

Google’s hugely-successful email service is experiencing widespread outages across the UK and US, according to reports from frustrated users online.

Enraged social media users rushed to complain about the outages this afternoon.

The problems appear to be limited to Google for Work Gmail users, the California-based technology company has confirmed.

All my Gmail account is synced on my Android tablet and even though i have been receiving emails I cannot open them from the notification messages I have been getting. I need to access my important emails to verify business accounts with clients…

The Xbox 360 had the red ring of death, well GMAIL should have the multicolored circle of death because the email service is slow and tedious.
